After losing to No. 10 Notre Dame at Valley Fields on Tuesday, the Marquette men’s lacrosse team was tasked with facing another Top-10 program Saturday afternoon, this time in No. 3 Georgetown.
And despite a record setting day from first-year attacker Bobby O’Grady, the Golden Eagles fell to the Hoyas 20-10 on the road in the nation’s capital.
Georgetown started the game as the aggressor, jumping out to a 4-1 lead midway through the first quarter, not letting Marquette get set into its offensive rhythm.
After redshirt sophomore attacker Devon Cowan’s 16th goal of the season, which brought the Golden Eagles back within a 5-3 deficit with 1:43 left in the opening quarter, the Hoyas responded with back-to-back goals to take a 7-3 lead going into the second.
